Using the LAN interface
Before connecting to the LAN interface
The LAN interface on the EXPLORER™ 700 comprises two connectors. If the two LAN connectors
are used simultaneously, the EXPLORER™ 700 should be in Router mode. Refer to Configuring the
LAN interface on page 107.
To connect to the LAN (Local Area Network) interface, use a shielded cable mounted with an RJ-45
connector.
For specifications, refer to LAN interface, 2-port on page 158.
For the LAN interface to work without any further setup, the computer must be set up to obtain an
IP address and a DNS server address automatically.
To check these settings on your computer, do as follows (For Windows XP):
1. Select Connect To > Show All Connections from the Start menu.
2. Double-click Local Area Connection.
3. Click Properties
4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click Properties.
Make sure both fields are set to obtain an address automatically.
